Cold radiator

Hi,
We just moved to the new house.
We have an old combi boiler with 2 settings - low and high.
When the boiler is working on the high setting,
the radiators in the main room and en-suite bathroom are hardly warm, when it's on low - they are cold.
All the other radiators work OK, we bled these ones a few times and opened all valves but this does not help.
Does this mean that the boiler cannot cope?
Can we change the radiator?
Thanks

whats the make and model of the combi?
maybe the system just needs cleaning out/flushing.Get some gorm.0 -
If you switch the other radiators off, do they get hot then? This would prove whether the system can't cope. But realistically it is more likely to be corrosion/blockages and the system needs a flush/clean.
You can certainly change the radiator, but if the blockage is in the pipework leading to/from it it won't help.0 -
How much can the system cleaning/flushing cost?0

approx 100 from a local plumber and 300 from BG.Get some gorm.0

The boiler was serviced a few months ago - should radiators also be checked?0
